The Influence of Liquor Ratio on the Jet Dyeing of Cellulose Fibres Using Different types of Monochlorotriazine Reactive Dyes

The exhaustion and fixation of four commercial monochlorotriazine reactive dyes on cotton fabric has been determined spectrophotometrically in the all-in jet dyeing process. The influence of liquor ratio on exhaustion and fixation was estimated. The exhaustion of two dyes on the cotton fabric was very good, especially at short liquor ratios. High levels of fixation at all liquor ratios were recorded, varying to some extent according to the liquor ratio used in the dyeing cycles
